Development
According to a 2003 TGS interview with Cozy Okada, the original idea behind the inclusion of Dante in Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne came from a staff member who was a huge fan of the Devil May Cry series. After some consideration that Dante could fit the setting of the game due to his role as a demon hunter, the idea was developed further. This included the creation of a movie in which Dante jumps off a tall building and confronts the protagonist with his guns drawn (This was later used for the first encounter the player has with Dante in-game). The movie was sent to Capcom, who "loved it and the rest is history."[1]

Trivia
- In Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne, when Dante uses his Showtime attack, Style meter rankings from Devil May Cry 2 appear on the screen.
- While never explicitly stated to be related to the inclusion of Dante in Nocturne, Kazuma Kaneko would later collaborate with Capcom as the designer of the Devil Trigger forms of Dante and Vergil in Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening. These designs would be later included in both the original and Ultimate versions of Marvel vs. Capcom 3, and the Special Edition of Devil May Cry 4, all of which credit Kaneko.

It turned out great and we were confident that Capcom would like it. Just as we thought, they loved it and the rest is history.”" [1]. Published July 29, 2004. Retrieved August 3, 2008. GameZone.
